Albion star Beram Kayal is determined to spoil a Welsh celebration in Cardiff today.
The popular midfielder is being tipped by sources in Israel for a return to his country’s starting XI as they face Wales in a potentially historic Euro 2016 qualifier.
A win for Wales will secure their place in France but Kayal does not want to see them celebrating.
He said: "We believe in ourselves. Always you believe you can put up a fight, especially me.
“I do not want to see people celebrating in my face. Sometimes the odds are against you but, as long as there's a chance, we'll fight and not allow anyone to celebrate against us."
Kayal admits Gareth Bale provides the main Welsh threat and expects Israel to double up on him when he is in possession.
He added: "It’s going to be a physical game.
“We know most of the players play in the Premier League and the Championship, except Bale who plays for Real. I know the style of their game - long balls and physical high level."
